ETA on Beta3?

TKITFrank · Thu May 17, 2012 1:36 pm

Mikrotik Staff do you have an ETA on the Beta3?
1-3weeks?

Thu May 17, 2012 2:06 pm

Many fundamental changes (kernel upgrade) so it will take a few more days. Probably next week.

TKITFrank · Thu May 17, 2012 2:11 pm

Hi Normis,

Sounds promising

looking forward to it.
Keep up the good work!

6.0beta3 RB433UAH 30min CPU ? ... winbox 2-43%CPU

RB133 5.17rc1 OK

Many fundamental changes (kernel upgrade) so it will take a few more days. Probably next week.

Translation: We're too busy playing Diablo 3. Check again after we hit level 60 and finish inferno mode.

j/k ... I'm sure they're hard at work putting in lots of awesomeness into this and it takes a while sometimes to make it work good.

TKITFrank · Fri Jun 01, 2012 12:42 pm

Any news Normis on beta3?

janisk · Fri Jun 01, 2012 2:57 pm

it will take a while. So no ETA.

TKITFrank · Fri Jun 01, 2012 3:04 pm

Some hints on whats to come in beta3?

Fri Jun 01, 2012 3:04 pm

this is the major change which takes a while:

*) upgraded drivers and kernel (to linux-3.3.5);

TKITFrank · Fri Jun 01, 2012 3:16 pm

Okay no new features ?

Chupaka · Sat Jun 02, 2012 12:02 am

what about new routing?..

jandafields · Sat Jun 02, 2012 7:06 pm

If it is not released, then there must be multiple versions of 6.0beta3 because I saw a link for it a week or so ago, and so I downloaded it and I've been using it already.

Look around, the link for it may still be active.

Mon Jun 04, 2012 10:25 am

Just like any version, we make many builds before releasing to public.

TKITFrank · Tue Jun 05, 2012 4:19 pm

Is there a Beta of the beta3?

And if so where can I get it to try? I have an RB800...

napismizpravu · Tue Jun 05, 2012 5:45 pm

6.0beta3 (16.05. 2012) load CPU winbox (www statistics OK)
6.0beta3 (04.06. 2012) load CPU RB433UAH statistics tools/profile/www -80% problems with displaying charts ...... [load CPU Winbox => OK corrected?]

honzam · Tue Jun 05, 2012 5:57 pm

Just like any version, we make many builds before releasing to public.

Normis, 6.0beta3 from date 4.6.2012 is based on new kernel? Thanks

Here's a bug with b3:

Sometimes, after awhile (days), I can no longer connect with Winbox. Everything else keeps working fine, but the router won't respond to a winbox connection. Power cycling the router makes winbox connect fine again.

honzam · Tue Jun 05, 2012 7:51 pm

Another bug with beta3 04.05.2012 and RB711. Restarting every 5minutes. In log is - Router was rebooted without proper schutdown.
With 5.17 uptime a lot of days

Sounds like watchdog. Uncheck the watchdog timer and see if that fixes it.

Which RouterBOARD model, and which port was this?

Hi Normis.
Please insert the forum where users report found bugs in not released versions - beta3
Give us a download link to test builds and perhaps incomplete changelog...
Maybe only for a limited number of users. Or just for the user with the specified number of posts (or positive karma)

TKITFrank · Thu Jun 07, 2012 1:38 pm

Hi,

Got a hold of the test release of beta3 but my RB800 will not upgrade, I have not connected to the CLI on boot, but my guess is that I have packets that are beside the normal npk file. Like NTP and Multicast. And the zip file with all packets is not located on the same place as the npk file. Where can I find that zip file?

janisk · Thu Jun 07, 2012 3:35 pm

in what additional packages you are interested in?

TKITFrank · Thu Jun 07, 2012 4:32 pm

Multicast och NTP.
I guess they are the reason why my router will not upgrade?
The file is located where It should be but It only reboots.

I will do a test today or tomorrow as well with serial port connected...

honzam · Sat Jun 09, 2012 4:55 pm

What say log?

error boot RouterOS:

karlos · Tue Jun 12, 2012 2:27 pm

I would use Terminal and serial cable to go in bootloader, realsh it with newest possible, and than netinstall last "stable" Ros. You just need a backup of licence key. If you dont have it, contact support of Mikrotik with HW ID and they will help you for sure.

Czech:

Přihlaš se terminálem přes seriový port a přepiš bootloader nejnověším který najdeš na www.routerboard.com. Pak naistaluj přes netinstal nejnovější stabilní verzi ROS a k tomu budeš potřebovat licenci. Pokud ji nemáš zazálohovanou,(což doporučuji dělat) tak si o ni napiš na podporu. Když jim pošleš HW ID tak ti určitě pomůžou.

honzam · Tue Jun 12, 2012 9:59 pm

BUG: This is channel 5620 but see log

TKITFrank · Fri Jun 15, 2012 7:43 am

it will take a while. So no ETA.

Any progress on the beta 3 release?

Fri Jun 15, 2012 8:53 am

If anybody wants to test beta3 before we put it on the webpage, you are welcome to email support for a download link. Just remember, that this will be a pre-release of a beta version, and you should not put it on important devices. Also, we would really like your feedback on it.

Fri Jun 15, 2012 9:02 am

Normis,

Does beta3 have the new routing yet? We are experiencing a number of VRF/BGP bugs in 5.17 that Maris mentioned are fixed in the new routing system.

We are working on new routing, but it will not be included in the beta3 release. We are making it as a separate package, but it's not ready for public testing yet.

stmx38 · Fri Jun 15, 2012 11:14 am

normis,
Can you say ETA of 6 version for production use ?
I want Cloud Core Router with ROS 6 for our new Collocation.
Can we expect it on the end of Q3 ?

Thanks.

CCR will only work with RouterOS v6, so no worries, that is what you will get when CCR is released at ~end of summer.

Chupaka · Wed Jun 20, 2012 3:22 pm

on VMware ESXi, when I updated v6.0beta2 with separate packages to beta3 using combined package, I lost IP connectivity: /ip route print was showing nothing... now I repeated my try, it updated normally, but something in queues is wrong. incorrect avg-rate is now correct, but WinBox colors are broken:

Clipboard01.gif

8.3 of 100 is too low the queue to be yellow, and 17.7 of 120 is too low the queue to be red

the build is of June, 12th

Yeah, smart people use IrfanView

Sorry for offtopic, I couldn't resist not to comment on that

syadnom · Thu Jul 12, 2012 5:52 pm

I'm most interested in new routing, mtr suggests that ospf (nssa specifically) will be fixed. Also, I have a large number of PPP interfaces and I'm under the impression that v6 will work better with high interface counts.

doush · Fri Jul 13, 2012 6:36 pm

what is new routing ?

syadnom · Fri Jul 13, 2012 6:40 pm

that is a great question doush

Mikrotik, any link to some info on 'new routing' in ROSv6? Thanks!

paoloaga · Mon Jul 16, 2012 4:02 pm

I also have a lot of issues with OSPF using 5.XX versions, I am interested about the new routing code.

Any chance of being able to run vlan and untagged traffic on the same interface in the new release? Also hoping for the OSPF issues to be resolved.

paoloaga · Wed Sep 05, 2012 11:30 pm

OSPF issues in 6.0beta3 aren't solved yet.

revellion · Thu Sep 20, 2012 6:14 pm

Any chance of being able to run vlan and untagged traffic on the same interface in the new release? Also hoping for the OSPF issues to be resolved.

That is entirely possible already afaik. my configuration has an untagged VLAN on the LAN side + a tagged VLAN going to my managed 1q capable switch for a separate net.
